India
Telangana's Kalyana Lakshmi scheme, meant to help families with marriage expenses, is under fire after India's top auditor found serious flaws.
The CAG says over ₹55 crore went to people who should not have qualified, like underage girls and those earning more than the income limit.
Telangana audit flags beneficiary verification lapses
The audit showed that money was even given to people who married before the scheme began, pointing to weak checks on who gets help.
The CAG now wants the government to tighten how beneficiaries are verified and make it easier for people to report issues.
The report also raised concerns about Telangana's financial management and questioned some land deals that could impact jobs in the state.
